How it works

  1. 1

    Choose your parameters

    Select a key, scale (major or minor), tempo, and mood. Or simply describe what you want — "jazzy chords in D minor" or "bright pop progression."

  2. 2

    Generate progressions

    The AI produces multiple chord progression options following established harmonic conventions. Preview each one and pick the one that fits your track.

  3. 3

    Edit and customize

    Modify individual chords, change voicings, adjust rhythm and timing, or swap instruments. The progression is fully editable MIDI in your project.

  4. 4

    Build your track

    Layer melodies, bass, and drums on top of your chord progression. Use the AI CoProducer to generate complementary parts that harmonize with your chords.
